Jacksonville absolutely rolled over the Ravens with a dominant 33-10 victory last night, pushing their record to a solid 6-2. Baltimore, on the other hand, just hit rock bottom, dropping its fourth straight game to fall to a concerning 4-5.
Baltimore’s Offense: A Complete Meltdown
With starting QB Lamar Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley out, the Ravens threw rookie Joe Fagnano, an undrafted guy, into his first start. Their game plan was simple: run the ball, shorten the game. They went heavy with 34 runs to only 19 passes, even winning the time of possession battle 30:45 to 29:15. But guess what? It didn’t matter one bit. Fagnano struggled big time, completing only 10 of 18 passes for a measly 60 yards and tossing two interceptions. Justice Hill did what he could with nine carries for 85 yards, and Henry even climbed to seventh on the NFL’s all-time rushing list, but none of it was enough.
Jaguars Feast on Turnover Trouble
The Jaguars didn’t just win, they blew them out, marking their eighth victory by 20 points or more since the start of last season. Baltimore couldn’t get anything going, failing to notch a single first down in the entire second half until Justice Hill broke loose for a 65-yard touchdown with just 7:15 left on the clock. That’s right, three first downs in the second half, and only 10 for the entire game. Jacksonville outgained the Ravens 319 to 227 and absolutely terrorized Fagnano, forcing three turnovers. Jourdan Lewis and Montaric Brown both snagged an interception off the rookie, and linebacker Jalen McLeod forced and recovered a fumble from LaJohntay Wester on a kickoff return. This team wasn’t just losing, they were giving it away.
This 33-10 thrashing by the Jaguars has gotta sting for Baltimore. Jacksonville is looking like a real contender at 6-2, but the Ravens are in a serious tailspin at 4-5. They’re going to have to figure out their quarterback situation, and fast, if they want to save this season.
